I think we also need another striker as with the uncertainty over Aneke and Leaburn with injuries and personally I don’t think Ahadme has got it in him , that leaves Godden , Kanu and Campbell who had a very good game Saturday but he’s not a striker .

Ahadme and Campbell are probably seen as Ruffdiamonds that Jones can develop.

Jones wants a smaller, rather than larger squad.

He also clearly rates Ahadme even if others don't.

There is also Dixon.

Sure, if there is a better quality player available Jones would like them but he's not a fan of loans (despite just getting A Campbell on loan).

7 strikers plus M'Bick isn't shabby IMHO.

Millwall fans cracking up and saying “good luck with him” - they had him under Edwards who wanted midfielders to get the ball down and pass it

Luton fans looking at it and saying “lump on Charlton to win the league” - they had his best form under Jones who wanted defensively disciplined midfielders


He’s a central midfielder - he is NOT a creative central midfielder but he is very good at being a spoiler. Jones absolutely loves him. I see him as Conor Coventry competition.

I can’t take Millwall opinions seriously, Alex Mitchell didn’t make a single appearance for them yet would probably walk into their side easily 

I can't believe you wrote that, has the difference in the two divisions and the quality of that football not dawned on you ? Alex Mitchell has done very well here in three games, yes three games, he didn't 'walk into their side' because three managers at Millwall, decided he wasn't good enough . 

Hard for some of them to play him to be fair once he was on loan at Lincoln last season and could only be recalled in January (if at all).

Scoham, you are missing the point. He was loaned out because his parent club had better cover in the position he plays. If, as you are suggesting, the managers had their hands tied by a loan deal then that would only apply to one those three managers, as the other two loaned him and sold him, which brings me back to my criticism of the post, Mitchell would not walk into that side because, at least two managers maybe three didn't think he was better than the players they had.  

Didn't Millwall literally sack a member of staff because them not keeping proper tabs on him caused him to refuse to sign a new contract when they thought he was going to be an important part of their club going forward? Not sure their recent judgment is anything to go by

What Ahadme been excellent and it was down to his pressing we got the mistake due the first goal , no uncertainty over Leaburn back training and we should see him back middle September 

shuffles67

A lot of uncertainty surrounding Ahadme but to be fair he's  not had a supply or a sniff of a chance yet so hard to judge

Ahadme has been underwhelming so far, but is a major signing for us. He's not going to be dumped after 3 games.

 TBF don’t think he’s been given much service.

Definitely difficult to have a look at his finishing ability but there's still everything else.

Has Campbell a decent dead ball delivery? Because we are losing at least ten goals a season because of poor FKs/corners.

Yet TT is skilful but has yet to appear.

And judging by the game time Jones has given him he’s not going to.

with Campbell in I think we see 3 more this week, likely Potts in as cover at CB, a keeper and then 1 more midfielder if we can shift Fraser and Taylor 

even with 0 new additions Jones has delivered on making us categorically stronger than where we started when the window opened

Henry Irving

From what NJ said in the SLP they may wait till January for a keeper

The man's just shut down the 'best team in the league' and we're saying he needs competition? Come on. Campbell is in as a squad option, not 'competition' for a guy who's clearly one of our best players 

Every player should have competition.

Campbell is in contention for three slots, not one, is my point

The way we are now playing it would be surprising if all three stay fit throughout the season.

RonnieMoore

think a young CB , GK but not urgent now , possibly another midfielder … we’re nearly done

I would be much happier to wait and see what options are available then rather than signing (just for example) a Lumley type just for the sake of it.

I'm not expecting much more business inwards, if the right player is available then great but if not we don't actually need anything else in a pure numbers sense - a few areas it would be nice for a few more options but we have enough bodies to at least get by.

CL still struggling to realize that Nathan Jones will rotate as it's a 46 match season with the 3 games in some week and if a player has a knock we can have a like for like replacement.

Again the 11 players who finish a match are as important as the 11 players who start.

16 players will be needed in many matches plus 4 forwards will be used over the duration of the match because of the pressing Jones expects the front two to do.

3 games in 43 to go.

Welcome Allan Campbell and be a success regardless of how many minutes you get.

I've been impressed enough by Mannion that I do not want to see him benched, and if we were to bring in someone else then it would be pointless unless they are better than Ash, who I still hold out hope for

I hadn't heard that. I think there is a similarity to the Lucas Ness situation though, with the club leaving the decision down to the player and with that being the case with Ness and Mitchell then my take on it would be that both clubs were not falling over themselves to keep either player.

As NJ is getting the band back together, I wonder if we might go in for Harry Cornick on loan from Bristol City. He's not featured in the league so far this season.

There's no similarity there. Millwall wanted to keep Mitchell, tied to get him to sign an extension and were annoyed he'd decided to leave, and we extended Ness specifically to get a fee for him and actively tried to move him on, as indicated by the fact he had his number taken off him.

Gomez trending on Twitter.

Big rumour about him going to Palace.

Mixed feelings for me if this is true

Can't see it happening for two reasons. First you have Villa and Newcastle interested and with Villa able to offer Champs League football either club will be more attractive.

Also can't see Palace splashing out £40m+ on a player when they're currently selling to raise funds for the ground redevelopment.

Literally couldn’t care less if it means Jones has a war chest for a couple of January additions to get us over the line.
